Pet care experience

RN w/ extensive pet care experience

I have not lived a single day without animals in my house. I grew up with a German Shepherd, 3 Aussies, a cat, and even owned lizards! I also worked at PetsMart in the small animal department and helped medicate the sick animals. Although I am not a pet trainer I have plenty of experience training dogs how to walk properly and teaching them tricks, as well as attending a few sit means sit classes with my Mother’s dog. I am a nurse in the hospital setting and I work 3 days a week, meaning I would only accept jobs on days where I do not work (I would hate for your pet to be unattended for 12+ hours!). As far as pet care experience, I have cared for: large dogs, small dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, rodents, birds, and horses. I also have experience administering various kinds of medication as well as caring for senior animals. Because of this I would be able to provide care to special care or senior dogs that may need extra TLC or certain medications like insulin.

Kayla was wonderful. I was able to book after a last minute cancelation with my regular sitter, and I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. She took wonderful care of my pups and was very communicative

Schedule

I work overnight 3 nights a week, my schedule is pretty flexible but it does vary week by week. I recently moved out of my parents home and am currently pet free so I would love to be able to spend my free time helping out!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like they are my own. I would walk the dogs at least 1-2 times a day depending on their own needs. As far as dogs go, I would also take them out for bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours. For cats, I would clean their litterbox as least once daily. For all pets I will provide them with all the love they could need while you are away and will play with them to their hearts content! I am very respectful of others’ spaces and will leave your home the same, if not better than you left it!

Pets

A typical day

I’m a big believer in both physical exercise as well as mental exercise for animals. Not only will I play with your pets and take them on walks or hikes, but I will also set up puzzles and mental games for them.

Let me know if your pet has any special care needs or any behaviors that I may need to know ahead of time. I have experience with skittish and nervous dogs but would like to be prepared so I can have a good relationship with the animal! Also if you have cats please let me know if they are door darters so I can be prepared when entering!
